Nepal’s batsman Dipendra Singh Airee hit the fastest possible fifty in the game, needing just nine deliveries to reach the mark in a match against Mongolia.
Airee hit his first six balls for six to race to 36 off just six deliveries. He then hit his seventh ball for two before hitting his next two for sixes to reach his half-century in nine balls: the ‘perfect 50’. With a two from the final ball of the innings, Airee ended with 52 not out from 10 balls.
His innings shattered the previous world record for a 50 in a Twenty20 match – the 12 balls required by Yuvraj Singh, Chris Gayle and Hazratullah Zazai. Yuvraj’s innings, against England in the 2007 T20 World Cup, included six consecutive sixes off Stuart Broad.Comment

I wish I felt more excited. Kinda lost interest in the 50 over game, feels increasingly obsolete to me. Maybe I'll get into it if we make a few massive scores.
Thanks very much for beingComment

Can see England struggling to qualify for the knockouts now. I don't think an ever decreasing focus on the 50 over format in this country will help. I suspect most of the squad were flaying franchise cricket when the One Day season wastaking place.Football without Origi is nothingComment
